Description

TerraRay is an easy-to-use terrain rendering suite for your Mac. Create stunning artwork without learning a complicated and expensive application, TerraRay allows you to create realistic landscape images with just a few clicks while offering many advanced features for you to explore.

Features:

Advanced RendererTerraRay features a state-of-the-art renderer which can simulate very realistic lighting using a global illumination algorithm. Every surface in your scenery reflects light onto other surfaces as in reality.

Simple yet powerful editorThe built-in editor has been built with simplicity in mind. You do not need to read a manual to create stunning scenery with TerraRay. You can simply paint an elevation map using the integrated editor and define where valleys or hills should appear in your scenery.

Flexible MaterialsCreate any type of material in TerraRay you can imagine: Earth, Sand, Rocks, Ice, Snow, Grass, Mud…TerraRay comes with many preset materials you can assign on any part of the terrain using different material layers.

Custom ModelsTerraRay allows you to place models directly into your scenery. You can use models from the built-in library like trees, houses or cars or import custom models using the commonly used 3ds file format.

Post-Processing EffectsThe flexible post-processing effects available since Version 5.1 can vastly increase the realism of your scene. After rendering your scene you can apply near and far depth of field blur including depth tinting.

Realistic Clouds & SkyTerraRay features configurable volumetric clouds. You can specify the cloud height, density, cover and size. Furthermore, you can control the sky turbidity, sun size and intensity and the general horizontal brightness.

Volumetric FogUsing the volumetric fog in TerraRay creates stunning visible rays of light in your scenery. The volumetric fog works with any number of light sources and you have fine grained control over the density and height of the fog.

VegetationPlace grass, leafs or rocks anywhere you want in your scenery. Simply add a plants or rocks layer with a single click and use brushes to define where grass should grow in your scenery.

ErosionTerraRay can simulate the natural erosion process using complex algorithms. You can either apply the erosion prices to your whole terrain or to just some regions.

WaterWith TerraRay, you can create very realistic rivers, lakes or an ocean. Control the wave size, height, turbulence, the absorption color, the reflection color and many more aspects.

Fractal Terrain GeneratorTerraRay comes with a Fractal Terrain Generator which allows you to create stunning terrains with just a few clicks. Furthermore, the Fractal Terrain Generator comes with many presets you can choose from.

Autogenerated MaterialsSince Version 4, TerraRay supports automatic texture generation. You can simply apply one of the many presets to your elevation map and TerraRay automatically generates the appropriate texture maps.

TerraRay uses an advanced path tracing renderer to simulate very realistic lighting. The flexible elevation map editor allows you to easily create canyons, islands, beaches, mountains with just a few clicks. Custom materials can be assigned to any part of the terrain using the built-in material editor. Add vegetation and rocks to the scenery and hit the start render button to create stunning images easily!
